Just one entry showcased tonight, but that’s because this one’s a doozy. While this entry from Colleen Farley is technically just Jason x Sal, there’s a whole buncha other Dumbing of Age folks in the crowd you can pick out, if you’re savvy. And man do you gotta be savvy. I’m gonna let you folks try, and if no one guesses them all correctly, then I’ll give y’all the answer later. Be warned, some of these guys have only shown up in one or two strips, and one of them doesn’t even have a name yet!
Don’t let the game distract you too much from the wonderful art itself. I love that the only color in the piece is the blush on Jason and Sal’s cheeks.
Moonracer191 has given us a very interesting Amazi-Girl x Mike piece. Amazi-Girl is tied up while hanging upside-down, and Mike’s reluctantly smooching her. I say reluctantly, because his arms are folded. He’s pretty casual about this.
Meanwhile, in the background Batman’s attacking a shark with shark repellent spray. Of course he is!
This must have been one crazy night at the warehouse.
Keeping with our “Amazi-Girl smooching upside-down” theme, David sends us this one of Amazi-Girl x Dina. Longtime readers of mine will remember that Dina’s pretty good with hanging folks upside-down with rope. Either that’s what David’s getting at, or he just wants to see Dina and Amazi-Girl do sloppy make-outs in the rain. Either is fine by me.
I put the prizes in the mail this morning to the three winners, so you folks be looking out for those!
Both of today’s SLASH CONTEST entries are by Noah Chevalier! For the first one we have Dorothy x Walky, via the straw he breathed through while being buried at the beach. This is probably an intermediate step that Dorothy needs. We can’t just go full-on making out with Walky, can we? And the second one is a unique pairing of Mary and Sierra. I’m not sure Sierra’s okay with this.
Hey, while on my boat, I was on Paul and Storm’s podcast along with my fellow webcartoonists and Paul F. Tompkins. They’ve put that podcast up on the Internet now for you to enjoy! So enjoy it.
Or else.
Also I guess I’m in Joel’s comic again.
Continuing onslaught of SLASH CONTEST entries!
by David M Willis on March 5, 2012 at 6:39 pmOkay, so Amber is apparently a very popular smoocher in these entries. But she’s not the whole story, honest! Here’s an Amber x Dorothy x Joe’s camera entry from Alia, who also includes Joe and Danny. This is probably the greatest day of Joe’s life. Danny will agree a few days later, but right now he’s a little scandalized. Danny’s not so good at living in the moment.
But Karen Rustad wanted to prove that not everyone has to be making out with Amber! So here’s Joyce x Dorothy, playing the part of church and state, respectively, and acting out Rick Santorum’s attitudes towards those entities. That’s right, Joyce x Dorothy’s ship name is “Theocracy.”
I’ve been on Tumblr. I know how this works.
This Amber x Mike piece by pixelspasms was almost third place! Seriously, it was so very close. Part of what I loved was the title and/or caption she included: “That was my plan. To make you game-over.” Without that, it’s just a very well-rendered drawing of Mike kissing Amber. But with it, there’s a whole Evil Scheme involved, with possible secondary romantic objectives??? I love this thing.
But it didn’t have Danny in a dress, so it fell just short of placing. Damn.
To round out today’s Amber x Mike theme, here’s an entry from Steven Brown. Bonus points for sweet Mike abs. Points detracted for putting Amber in a Shortpacked! uniform! This is a Dumbing of Age contest, man! But seriously, this is hot.
